Role Summary
As a Data Scientist, the post-holder will play a key role in development of VESTA app. The post-holder will be responsible for extraction of data from standard inertial measurement units (IMUs) and perform validation of 3D trajectories utilising pre-existing data models. The post-holder will develop automated algorithms for real‑time sensing and feedback to ensure accuracy of diagnostic and treatment manoeuvres for BPPV. The post-holder will regularly communicate with the clinical and non‑clinical members of the team to adapt the methodological approaches for achieving adequate diagnostic accuracy. The post-holder will regularly communicate with a systems engineer to fulfil the requirements for integration of analytical, diagnostic, and treatment methods in a mobile application.
The post-holder will contribute to the broader work of the team, in particular the development of reproducible and reusable data curation pipelines. This role would suit a candidate who has existing translational research experience in vestibular domain and would like to expand their skills in supporting the development of data‑driven solutions for diagnostics and treatment for common vestibular disorders.
Responsibilities
* Develop, run, and maintain analytics pipelines for allocated projects.
* Extract, curate, and validate the data from inertial sensors; ensure reusability and reproducibility of methods.
* Develop algorithms for real‑time sensing and feedback for accuracy of positional manoeuvres.
* Close collaboration with clinical team to update methodological approaches as needed for an integrated app.
* Close collaboration with Systems Engineer to ensure seamless integration of analytical, diagnostic, and treatment pipelines as part of a single app.
* Development of automated algorithms for detection of cases requiring urgent care with acceptable accuracy.
* Analyse collected data to evaluate treatment effectiveness, user satisfaction, and safety.
* Prepare plain‑language summaries, charts, and reports for stakeholders.
* Incorporate user feedback into algorithms and app design.
* Maintain detailed documentation of data collection, analysis methods, and results; ensure best practices in data handling for a handover.
